GAMES TONIGHT
Oakland and the struggling New York Yankees play tonight. Tim Hudson (3-0, 2.15) will face Mike Mussina (1-4, 6.67) who is off to a slow start. Of course as many of you are aware, Derek Jeter is 0 for his last 25. Alex Rodriguez is starting to swing the bat better but now all the pressure of a slow start seems to have shifted to the shoulders of DJ. With the Yankees off to a slow start I think everybody is waiting for Big Stein to lose his cool. Rob Neyer wrote this article about how the Yankees starting pitcher (save KBrown and Vazquez) has been horrendous. Something I predicted when I heard they were counting on Contreras and Jon Lieber (who hasn't pitched yet) to be the back of their rotation.

Staying out on the west coast, the Dodgers host the New York Mets tonight. Tom Glavine who is off to a fantastic start (2-1, 1.00) faces Hideo Nomo (3-1, 6.55). Los Angeles is off to a great start and will look to take advantage of a struggling club.
